[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm so sorry OP, I would be mortified if my child stepped into a room that was off limits per the host's instructions and then caused so much property damage.  I would be fine if the kids were running around in an allowed space and one bumped into something by accident.   It happened once in our family room, our 14 year old had his two best friends over and they were goofing around when one bumped the TV and it fell and broke.  That is an accident, it sucked, but it was just an accident in an allowed space.  The boy was super apologetic.  I didn't even tell his parents, but he did and they offered to pay for the TV, but of course we said no.  Your case was different because this area was off limits.  We have a few areas that are off limits to our kids friends and they all know about them and respect them.  BTW I have an 11, 12 and 14 year olds.  If my child had dared go into such area at someone's home I would have expected my child to apologize profusely and to tell me.  I would have payed for the damage.  I don't know why these parents were so rude.  I would not invite these kids any more and I would not allow my son to go over their home any more.  [/quote]

This is the PP, also, who supervises their 11 year olds all the time?  I check on them periodically and bring snacks, etc.  But we are all pretty hands off at this age and beyond.  [/quote]
